Google says Website Speed above all else – and how to improve in 2019

By Clifford P on July 11, 2019

This technical talk (it might be over your head) is the basis for this post’s content. Actionable highlights–for easier understanding and reference–are below.

Speakers: @paul_irish, @egsweeny, @AmirRachum

  • Users care most about site speed, 3x more than how the site looks
  • Performant sites are profitable sites.
  • I know it’s hard to believe, but we actually are that impatient.
  • There’s nothing more painful than having to layer performance on top of a fundamentally non-performant site.
  • Speed is your best friend.
  • The business doesn’t care about having a fast site. It cares about making money.

Site Speed Tools

  • PageSpeed Insights (PSI) to find out how quickly real world Chrome users (CrUX) and “the lab” can load your site
  • Lighthouse Stack Packs (coming soon) to give recommendations for performance, accessibility and other best practices based on your site’s underlying technology (e.g. WordPress)
  • Google Search Console to monitor and investigate your site, recently adding a “Speed” enhancement to find all your site’s slow, average, and fast URLs and view speed trends after making changes. Its “Page Grouping” feature guesses which slow URLs have a similar experience/structure and therefore it’s likely to be able to fix all of the URLs within a single group with the same technical fix.
  • The Chrome Developer Tools Performance panel is demoed in the video (22:00) and documented in the “Analyzing Runtime Performance” article
  • The PageSpeed Insights API lets you get a JSON report, such as to create your own monitoring tool on a regular interval
  • Compare the CrUX for one or all competitors within an industry via BigQuery
  • Request Map and Third-Party Web to find the performance pain caused by third party assets (e.g. Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, AddThis, Amazon Ads) on your site
  • Chrome ElementTiming API (coming soon) to perform one-off tests of when large or developer-specified (via the ‘elementtiming’ attribute) elements are displayed on your screen
